A collection of the best recordings on Delmark featuring harmonica
players including a previously unissued Junior Wells track from the
Hoodoo Man Blues session with Buddy Guy. For some, the
harmonica is not much more than an inexpensive plaything, but as the
artists heard here amply demonstrate, the expressive range of the
harmonica is as deep and wide as any other musical instrument in the
blues, rivaled only by the human voice. Other unreleased tracks
include a Carey Bell instrumental and a marvelous performance from
country blues artist Hammie Nixon with Sleepy John Estes. Also
features Little Walter, Big Walter Horton, Billy Boy Arnold, Billy
Branch, Jimmy Burns, Lynwood Slim, Kim Wilson, "Mad Dog" Lester
Davenport, Louis Myers, Golden "Big" Wheeler and others.
